Electric VW Caddy – Range 350 km

A new project has been launched: the Kreisel Electric VW Caddy. This van offers an impressive range of 350 kilometres and thanks to its efficiency is perfect for logistics and fleet duties, or as a people carrier in its 7-seater form. The efficient motor delivers an extremely comfortable ride due to its continuous acceleration. Compared to similar electric vehicles, it does not suffer from lack of power during any phase of acceleration, neither at high nor at low driving speeds.

Powertrain

The front-wheel drive with 82 kW synchronous motor and single-stage transmission reaches a maximum speed of 165 kph. The driver can toggle between two driving modes: D (regenerative breaking active) and S (sail mode). The sensitivity of the electric regenerative braking can also be adjusted by the driver using the plus/minus key on the automatic lever.

Battery

5856 type 18650 cells provide a total capacity of 60 kWh and guarantee a range of 350 kilometres. Two battery packs with a capacity of 30 kWh each are fitted. Each pack weighs just 170 kg – including the casing, BMS and electronics – and their nominal voltage is 345 V (performance weight 5.5 kg/kWh and energy density 2.7 dm³/kWh).

Charging

The 22 kW on-board charger connected to a conventional domestic mains power outlet fully recharges the battery packs within 2.5 hours. The vehicle is also ready for DC rapid charging, which charges the battery packs in less than an hour at a charging capacity of 44 kW.

We would be pleased to organise a test drive so you can find out for yourself how well the Electric Caddy performs. If you are interested, just send an email to info@kreiselelectric.com.
